I thought they handled clark's story well and the concept of the VRA and bringing the heroes into the public light i did like. I agree though they should have done more with darkseid and his minions. Granny should have been the overall arching villain with maybe dropping slade. Then if they really wanted to do more with darkseid they might has well just done that storyline folks mentioned before season ten started were darkseid and his minions possessed bodies. So then we would have had darkseid full time and wouldnt have to bother with the smoke monster deal.
